Winter storage / fuel stabilizer

If you can, look for fuel with no ethanol. I believe that there are some stations that are still offering it. The problem is not really with the actual fuel

If you can, look for fuel with no ethanol. I believe that there are some stations that are still offering it. The problem is not really with the actual fuel since today's fuel is so refined that it shouldn't break down in 7 months. The problem is with the 10% ethanol (limit in Canada) added to today's fuels. Ethanol is hygroscopic meaning it absorbs water (same as brake fluid). This is what can do the most damage to cars stored over the winter. Using Sta-bil fuel stabilizer will help keep your gas fresh.
